'A lot of people in the North are angry. Their ability to be wealthy-ish in their own community is gone, and they’re finding it hard to make sense of that. People in the South are also finding it hard to make sense of why they’re paid so little for the coffee, the wheat, and the maize that they grow. Yet somewhere in the middle, somebody is making an awful lot of money. Peter Mertens brings together the two ends in solidarity and points out that the real issue is the profits that have been made by faceless, distant global corporations, that have their headquarters in tax havens. And at the end of it, he does the most important thing. Two very important things, two words: hope and inspiration, as to how we empower ourselves to go forward.' Jeremy Corbyn, lifelong activist, London | 'Mutiny is a rollicking ride through world politics. Peter Mertens is able to clearly and convincingly show how opulence and poverty, domination and exploitation are intertwined on both a large and small scale. The book presents a compelling case for a joint mutiny of people in the North and the South.' Sevim Dagdelen, left MP in the Bundestag, Germany | 'Compelling, pugnacious, and endlessly engaging. The world is turning, and Peter Mertens does a wonderful job of showing which way the wind is blowing. It’s a book brimming with vivid anecdotes, topical analysis and fascinating historical detail.' Jerome Roos, London School of Economics | 'Workers in the North and South, from US autoworkers and British nurses to South African metalworkers, need to read Mutiny. It interrupts our navel-gazing and captures the seeds of social change germinating all over the planet. That’s where hope lies: if we organise ourselves, locally and internationally, and if we link social movements in the North and South, we can win.' Luc Triangle, General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation
